Etymology
[edit]From Arabic رَأَى (raʔā). An oft-cited archaism in Maltese as the verb has been displaced in most contemporary dialects (some preserved it though like the dialect of Sfax/Tunisia). The peculiar use of the imperative is similar to Maghrebi forms like راني (rāni) etc., which ultimately developed into pronouns.
